Easter

By the time you read this, the Toastmasters Meeting will be over. On Wednesday 4th April we held our meeting because this is Holy Thursday. We had a great meeting. I t was the Tall Tales Contest and the contestants really pushed the boat out - the tales were ‘funny' and pretty ‘tall’. We had an attendance of twenty eight, despite the outdoor distractions of longer evenings, sunshine and that urge to “smarten” up the garden or even the front gate, with a lick of paint! I must admit that the nearest I have got to those activities is sitting in the car outside Atlantic Home Care looking at all those energetic people coming out with ‘ready to plant’ flowers , and all kinds and sizes of paint tins.

However, this is a really good time of the year - Easter. We have all those Solemn Ceremonies which ground us, and help us to get our priorities right. These Ceremonies bring us hope and tranquillity, and are not spoiled by the commercialism that has crept into the beautiful feast of Christmas. Easter Sunday is the culmination of the forty days of Lent and a day to celebrate in the Resurrection of the Lord. On that note we wish you all a very happy Easter, and look forward to seeing you at our next meeting on Thursday l9th April at 7.50 for 8 pm at the Hibernian Hotel Mallow.
